Welcome Jonny , great choice in the Si coupe , plenty out there , try to drive a couple before buying as they don't all drive the same & curing one of wavering , uneasy steering at speeds can give you a hard time

Lots of info freely given here so just ask for info & post up links to possible cars if you need any pointers

You seen this one viewtopic.php?f=41&t=113324

Hi and welcome Jonny - a 3.0Si Coupe is a great choice (even if I may be biased).

If you haven't already, spend some time on here doing a bit of research as they came in both SE and Sport spec - Sport models came with M-Sport seats as standard, whereas they were a fairly rare option on SEs.

All Coupes have electric seats with memory settings on the driver side, but some of the spec is a bit miserly so bear that in mind if there are any features that are "must haves" for you.

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Other than it having a manual box I'm yet to nail down the spec I'd prefer. There does seem a big choice of cars out there but looks like very few are selling. Are they on the whole over-priced? You can be sure of photos as soon as I've got my chosen one tho!

Well Z4s don't seem to be selling that quickly but I think that applies to most cars at present, and the property market seems to be the same.

This thread might be of interest if you haven't found it already:- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78216

Of the options offered I think Bi-Xenon headlights are the most useful, and possibly heated seats if you're going to use it all year round. The easiest one to retro-fit is Cruise Control as you can still buy the control stalk from BMW and forum member "srhutch" makes up the bit of wiring you need for a sensible price.
